Wayne Rooney #10 of Manchester United follows through on a penalty goal during the first half of an International Champions Cup match
Wayne Rooney inspired Manchester United to a 3-2 win over AS Roma in the first match of the pre-season International Champions Cup tournament at Sports Authority Field, Denver. The England striker scored twice and set up a third for Juan Mata as United went in at the break 3-0 up.
United manager Louis van Gaal made nine changes at the interval and Roma scored twice in the second half, with Miralem Pjanic netting a wonder goal that embarrassed United goalkeeper Ben Amos, and Francesco Totti converting from the penalty spot with four minutes remaining.
Van Gaal looked far from happy at the final whistle despite the three points, because in truth his United side were second best for long stretches of the game.
They next meet Inter Milan in Washington DC on Wednesday, before concluding their Group A campaign against Real Madrid on Saturday in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
